Legal Issues for Adventure Travel Companies – MEMBERS ONLY

Every adventure travel company requires a solid legal foundation to grow and succeed. For this reason and in response to member requests, ATTA is working to provide legal tools and resources as part of the upcoming Best Practices library.

To kick start the discussion and development of this new member resource, we have asked two ATTA members – who are also attorneys – Mona McPhee (Mona McPhee / Jones Law Group PLLC and Chunnie Wright (Law Office of Chun T. Wright) to provide an overview of the major legal areas where agreements are typically required in your business for insurance and other purposes; such as risk management, employment, intellectual property, confidentiality agreements and more.

We encourage you to participate in this important discussion to learn more about legal issues you should consider when running a successful business. Then, join us on The HUB to continue the discussion and help define a valuable library of legal forms driven and supported by ATTA members.
